Molecular pathways that regulate sVEGFR1-i13 expression in endothelial and SQLC cells. (a) In endothelial cells, both positive (hypoxia, U2AF65 splicing factor) and negative (JMJD6, NOTCH1) regulators of sVEGFR1-i13 expression have been described in response to VEGF-A (VEGF165) stimulation. (b) In squamous lung carcinoma cells, anti-angiogenic therapies increase the intra-cellular level of VEGF165. VEGF165 induces the expression of the transcription factor SOX2 which controls SRSF2 protein level by binding to the SRSF2 promoter. As a final step, SRSF2 controls the alternative splicing of VEGFR1 towards sVEGFR1-i13 expression.
